A week after Harbaugh railed against an NFL rule that allows defenders to hit quarterbacks when they carry out read-option fakes, Carroll said Wednesday he has no issue with it.

"No," he said. "Not at all."

Last week, Harbaugh said the rule had too much "gray area" and termed it "flawed and biased." The subtext was that he didn't want his quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, to take additional hits. So why doesn't Carroll share the same view given the Seahawks' use of dual-threat quarterback Russell Wilson?

"Because I don't see any issue with it," Carroll said. "I think the quarterbacks, when they're runners, they're able to get hit. And when they're not, they're not. That's the only way they could have stated the rules. I thought they were pretty clear about it."

The 49ers placed the sixth-round pick on injured reserve with the designation to return. Harbaugh expects Moody to miss seven games, meaning he would return when the 49ers host the Panthers on Nov. 10. Moody played a team-high 23 special-teams snaps in Week 1.

Osgood, 33, a three-time Pro Bowl selection as a special-teams player, was released by the 49ers on Aug. 31. He is unlikely to play a role on offense. He has 44 receptions in his 10-year career, just 16 since 2005.

Injury report: Running back LaMichael James(knee) did not practice and was the only member of the 49ers listed on the injury report.

Among the injured Seahawks, cornerback Brandon Browner(hamstring) did not practice and defensive end Cliff Avril(hamstring) was limited. Both players sat out Seattle's 12-7 win at Carolina on Sunday.

Boldin honored: Wide receiver Anquan Boldinwas named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after he had 13 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown against the Packers. Boldin became the first player in NFL history to record a 100-yard receiving game in his debut for three different teams (Arizona, Baltimore, San Francisco).
